Activities\Education |
Each year the Lesvos Geopark invites all students
and teachers to get to know and to participate in educational programs...
…to travel 20 million years into the geological past of the Aegean and to
encounter phenomena and processes which can not be directly observed.
…to get to know the petrified forest and the plants that lived in the
region of the Aegean millions of years ago, and to compare them with those of
the modern ecosystems of Lesvos.
…to try to uncover step by step all the activities and changes that have
contributed to the creation of the current landscapes of Lesvos.
…to learn about the geological history of the Aegean and the most
important volcanoes of Lesvos, and also to experiment with the creation of a
volcanic explosion.
Besides, who would not want the unique experience of getting to know a 20
million year old fossilized tropical forest or walking into the heart of a
volcanic crater!!!
The educational programs of the Museum aim at bringing children into contact
with the subjects of natural history, the permanent and temporary exhibits, to
tweak their imagination and their interest in the planet, the history of the
development of life, the importance of geotopes, the natural processes, the
protection of ecosystems, and the modern environmental problems, by allowing
them to express themselves creatively in the space of the Museum.
Depending on the theme, the educational programs include a tour through the
exhibitions halls, the laboratories and in the parks. The tour encourages the
active participation of the children in their observations and discussions on
the exhibits. The visual and aesthetic stimuli that engage the children at the
briefing carry over into educational activities such as their own pictures and
crafts through games with different materials.
With the completion of each program, each student takes home a specifically
designed booklet, which he/she can process alone or with the remainder of the
team at school.
The form includes small explanatory texts, photographs, maps, representations,
questions for discussion and space for drawing or writing.
